Sandblaster is putting one on his KTM/KX 500 conversion. It’s using the TSR billet cases too. It’s going to be almost too pretty to ride.  :-D

the only issue we had with the panthera kit, is that it came with a cheap lawnmower solenoid switch.! It would stick and hang the starter engaged. we replaced it with a street bike solenoid from cycle gear and it worked flawlessly.

We have decompression valves put in the head and it's a gamechanger, its like starting a 125. I honestly don't think the the e start is worth the price and weight

I've been running the decomp for years and highly recommend it. But when your hips start to go that e-button is sweet even though there is a weight penalty.

That right when you start having trouble with body parts , and it only a matter of time for all of us , that e- button is worth it weight in gold.

Where is the best place to have the decomp system installed these days?

I've had Adam Millar, Tom Morgan Racing, and Larry do them.
All have performed perfectly.
